I've googled the maker mark and I know the co. Has been around from civil-WWII . Anyone have an idea?

Looks like an Army general service button from between 1902 and 1910.

Thanks for your input, weird how it ended up in the creek. I know it's not worth anything, just interesting. This creek is pretty remote.
